Norsen devotes a section of his recent (important) book to questions about reality and locality similar to those in this paper. He considers the possibility of accepting the electrodynamic potentials as physically real [1]}. Then he alludes to Bell's argument (cf section ) that the scalar potential is non-local in the Coulomb gauge and argues, like Bell, that this is not a problem because it is “bound up in some way with human knowledge or conventions."
